Was there a thread/announcement on this that I missed? I’ve noticed it happening more and more, and whilst I’m aware this is a public forum, I’m a lot less likely to post anything beyond passing comments if I think my words might be out on Twitter/Facebook etc.

Does feel a bit off, @cutthelights did you know you’ve been screengrabbed here?
It’s the latest I’ve noticed, but it seems a fairly regular thing these days.

I did not. 
Also seems a very… selective interpretation of the sentiment in that thread.

Maybe new member are being given a ‘By posting here you agree what you say might go public AF’, but us older members certainly weren’t.

My “Spotify is better than vinyl” thread got shared and had a few comments from bores on Facebook. Wasn’t arsed but might’ve been a bit off for others.

DiS is a public forum, there’s nothing to stop anyone posting any of our posts anywhere they like.

Feels off to me. I think some of the responses in this thread show I’m not alone in thinking that.

I know, but it’s a constant source of anxiety that keeps recurring and I don’t really know a way around it.

I don’t know if the vibe here has been “people shouldn’t share posts publicly” rather than “Sean shouldn’t pick & choose posts to share to DiS social media without at least consulting the poster first.” The latter seems pretty reasonable to me.

It’s a “can” vs “should” thing though, isn’t it. It’s not some law of nature that the site owner has to repost funny posts on Twitter to drive clicks and it’s not like it happens automatically without a load of very deliberate choices along the way.

Thought that my consternation at the last Menless Monday thread being posted despite my specific request for it not to might have changed this but here we are.
I know this is a public forum and people can see what we post here blahblahblah but to me there’s a marked difference between that and amplifying it to a wider and much larger audience that spreads it beyond people we know and maybe trust. Stuff like this genuinely makes me want to just sack this place off tbh.

Feels off that Sean talks a lot how all of his posts on the socials get a load of toxic attention, but is then posting forum posts to that audience.

It’s tricky because I agree, and if I got a message asking if a specific post could be shared, I’d potentially be happy with that, but by proxy you’re also linking direct to other people’s posts in the conversation who may not be happy with it.
Probably reads terribly that, but I think it makes sense.
Mostly what @Funkhouser said though.
